I have been an L6 SDE for about 4 years. Manager wants to target promo for the Q1 cycle in 2024. However I'm not willing to wait that long and I find my Manager's reasoning inadequate. He states a minimum 58 months tenure is preferred for sure shot promo. I suspect he is going to leave soon so he is...Read more

Google Staff Engineer position seems the same as an Amazon SDE3 - is that true? Both roles seem to be tech leading a team of less than a dozen engineers. Why does levels.fyi make it seem like a Google Staff Engineer is more like an Amazon PE? #google #amazon
Is it a stupid move? I'm curious about solving something of slightly higher scope, for similar TC, and a bit higher stress level. Because why not? Anyone at Google or Meta who has made the change has stories / thoughts?
Does anyone have insights about Amazon Workforce Staffing team? My wife got a call from them a few weeks ago for a position in the US. They said the team is growing and they have positions in Europe as well, so the location is flexible. She is a Research/Data Scientist (7YOE). I'd appreciate if so...Read more

How does an Amazon PE role compare to a Staff Engineer role at Stripe? levels.fyi shows they mostly overlap. Is that accurate in terms of scope, influence/impact, WLB, growth opportunities, comp? #engineering #software #swe #wlb
@amazon folks is this for real?????? 🙄 https://www.hindustantimes.com/business/amazon-shrinks-staff-by-100-000-joining-netflix-and-google-in-hiring-slowdown-101659109994565.html
According to levels.fyi and speaking to recruiters they suggest that Staff SWE at Google is the equivalent of PE at Amazon. Is that really true though? Speaking to hiring managers at Google it seems like the Staff positions are mostly at the team level, which seems more like an Amazon SDE3 to me.
Currently an L6 SDE (senior) at Amazon. Is it worth it to switch to Twitter (staff level) for about 30% comp bump? Current comp at Amazon: 350k
